"His
pension ought not to be his biggest problem," Corsi said in an interview
with Newsmax. "Spending time in jail should be his biggest problem."

Corsi's
new bestseller Killing the
Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump, details what the
author says is a "criminal conspiracy to remove the president from
office." Killing the Deep State
has soared to the top of Amazon bestsellers and became a No. 1 bestseller its
first day of release.

Corsi
says the evidence is so overwhelming and the press is largely ignoring his book
because it shows "the smoking gun" proof against the Bureau. Corsi
noted that there are now allegations that McCabe engaged in serious wrongdoing,
if proven, that include asking FBI agents to change interviews with witnesses.
Fox News, Corsi said, reported that claim in
late January - involving a FISA memo on Obama-era
government surveillance. [more...]

As
I demonstrate in my book, When
Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment, the medical
evidence suggests that sex reassignment does not adequately address the
psychosocial difficulties faced by people who identify as transgender. Even
when the procedures are successful technically and cosmetically, and even in
cultures that are relatively “trans-friendly,” transitioners still face poor
outcomes.

As
the Catholic Church marks five years into Pope Francis’ papacy, we should be
grateful he has made environmental protection and helping the poor central
themes of his work. Unfortunately, these noble aims are often undermined by the
pontiff’s fondness for central planning by government and his antipathy for
free-market capitalism.

In
his 2015 encyclical, Laudato si’, his leading statement about “care
for our common home,”Francis decries the excessive and wasteful
consumption enabled by capitalism, and paints capitalists with an extremely
broad brush, depicting them as exploitative, short-sighted, and selfishly
unconcerned about the environment.

This
misunderstanding of free-market capitalism is a regrettable distortion. Such
criticisms disregard the market incentives and mechanisms (not to mention
individual liberties) that best alleviate the environmental degradation and
extreme poverty that Francis seeks to remedy.[more...]

There’s MORE Great News
for America
coming - according to Dr. Gerard Lameiro, who has been called by radio and TV hosts
across the country “America’s #1 Political Analyst” and the “Nostradamus of
Political Elections.” Many will recall that in 2016 Dr. Lameiro accurately
predicted in his prescient 2016 book, “Great News for America” a Trump victory
while most pollsters and pundits gave Trump almost zero chance of winning the
presidential election. In his Electoral College forecast, Dr. Lameiro
correctly predicted every state that candidate Trump actually carried in the
2016 election. On November 8th, we all learned that Dr. Lameiro’s
Electoral College forecast was right on the money.

Now comes the follow-up
to his brilliant “Great News for America” - the highly anticipated MORE
Great News for America, Dr. Lameiro’s enthusiastic, energetic, and
optimistic vision for America. There is one special chapter in particular,
which will appeal to those who believe in the foundation of the
Judeo-Christian ethic. Lameiro predicts the dawning of a new Conservative
Enlightenment that will further extend, strengthen, enhance, and then maintain
our new Conservative Era for decades to come. Included in his prediction
are the 4 R’s in America’s future:

·The
Return to Faith in God

·The Renaissance of Reason

·The Restoration of Education

·The Rebirth of Morality, Freedom, Peace and
Prosperity

These 4 R’s are major,
significant, religious and cultural trends. They will play an important role in developing
and promoting America’s religious freedom, political freedom, and economic
freedom. They will also positively impact life in America on many
different levels and in many different ways. Dr. Lameiro forecasts a strong
resurgence in faith in God in America; a renewed understanding of reason, logic,
and scientific method; the reinvigoration of our education system, eliminating
the current wave of leftist indoctrination; and the eventual return to the
values that made America great in the first place.

According to Dr.
Lameiro, it’s an exciting and hope-filled time to be alive. Rather than
lamenting dismal times ahead as many pundits do, he argues persuasively that
America has entered a new conservative era. He predicts that there will be
a rebirth of morality in government; that we will see a return to more
individual freedom; that we will witness peace with other nations as well as
peace within America, resulting in a level of economic prosperity greater than
ever before seen in the history of the world.

President Trump scheduled this week for his maiden visit
to the most hostile leftist land to him on Earth, the once-golden state of
California. Today California has more poor people than any other state –
one-third of America’s welfare recipients, and one-quarter of its illegal
aliens. This dependency on government has produced a super-majority of ruling
Democrats and a minority-majority state where whites are a minority. In the
north of this first “sanctuary” state, the Oakland mayor has done more than
refuse to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) police...[more...]

Hollywood recently managed to take a classic fantasy
novel and strip away its soul. Author Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time,”
a book published in 1962, is clearly written from a Christian perspective and
eloquently communicates the author’s biblical worldview. Ava DuVernay and Oprah
Winfrey are the co-directors of a current film adaptation of L’Engle’s work.
Unfortunately, it is likely that the author would scarcely recognize her own
story as a result of Hollywood’s reverse Midas touch that materializes in the
form of New Age mysticism. [more...]

SolarWorld
Americas is ramping production of solar cells at its Hillsborough, Oregon
facility. CEO Juergen Stein tells us that the company is aiming to add another
300 employees before year’s end, which would bring its total U.S. workforce to
600 people. “We are already hiring,” Stein said. “We are running at around 50%
of capacity today and we want to be back up to 100%.” Full capacity of the
Hillsborough facility is 450 megawatts of solar cells. SolarWorld was one of
two companies that took China’s solar manufacturers to the U.S. International
Trade Commission and won their case, with President Trump’s January decision to
slap 30% tariffs on imported solar cells and modules. [more...]

The
American healthcare system is at a crossroads. Over the past eight years there
has been an acceleration in the movement towards automation, centralization and
regulation in an attempt to increase efficiency, lower cost and increase
access. Towards that end, there has been an exponential growth in large
hospital systems which have co-opted and in some cases closed community and
rural hospitals; the number of physicians in independent private practice has
steadily declined now accounting for only a third of practicing physicians; the
medical insurance industry has been whittled down to basically five national
insurance companies and government insurance (Medicaid and Medicare); and the
out-of-pocket costs for patients has risen while their access to doctors has
decreased. [more...]

Contributing
author to the Independent Institute’s new book,Pope Francis and the Caring Society, Robert P. Murphy, believes Pope Francis' remarks perpetuate the myth that
globalization and free markets have hurt the world's poor.He says, “the
pontiff offered a moral guidance for advancing the conference's theme:
‘creating a shared future in a fractured world.’”He added, “Although inspired by concern for
the poor and the marginalized, the Vatican's message is seriously flawed. On a
conceptual level, Pope Francis posits a false dichotomy between economic
freedom and human rights.” [more...]

President
Trump in his first year has succeeded at realizing many long-time conservative
goals like tax reform and deregulation, to name a few. But for Never-Trump
grumps, these achievements seem to intensify their bitter-ender anger at a
political parvenu. Puffed up with self-regard about the purity of their
“principles,” many have doubled-down on their criticisms of Trump’s brash,
vulgar demeanor, coming off like the pompous Judge Smails sputtering over Al
Czervik’s trashing of the Bushwood Country Club. The latest outburst came
from columnist Mona Charen after she lectured the CPAC attendees about their
hypocrisy over the recent sexual harassment disclosures. Writing for The New York Times - the premier
gate-keeper of “correct” opinion - Charen reprised her scolding of Trump
supporters that signaled to progressive monitors she is free from the Trump
pox. But all she achieved beyond a pat on the head from progressives was to
remind Trump voters why they rejected over a dozen establishment Republicans
and then the deplorable Hillary Clinton in favor of an insurgent bulldozing his
way through the stale received wisdom of those Republican politicians and
pundits who’d rather be liked than win. [more...]

Women's
March leader Tamika Mallory came under fire for her appearance at an event of the
racist hate group, the Nation of Islam, and for appearing with its leader,
Louis Farrakhan, who had praised Hitler. Farrakhan's speech was full of
anti-Semitic references. After initial complaints about being bullied
(essentially the same response as #TimesUp's Amber Tamblyn). Now Tamika is
offering a more comprehensive defense. And by defense, I mean some
combination of arm waving, some of my best friends are gay black Jewish women,
and Obama's Wright speech. She insists that she doesn't share the Nation of
Islam's racist views, but nor is she willing to meaningfully condemn them.
Instead she informs us that she's been attending them for most of her life. [more...]

Pushing
the Divide Over Illegal Aliens Wider

By
Ron
Hosko - President of the Law Enforcement Legal
Defense Fund/ Fmr. Assistant Director of the FBI

In a development that’s reflective of the widening chasm
of viewpoints on the treatment of illegal aliens in America, a big city mayor,
Oakland’s Libby Schaaf, issued a public warning of impending Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) immigration sweeps. The arrests went forward anyway,
netting more than 150, including several wanted for serious and violent crimes.
Acting ICE boss Tom Homan wasted no time in calling the mayor the equivalent of
a gang lookout and pointing to the difficulties ICE faces in “sanctuary”
jurisdictions like Oakland and San Francisco, saying, “Because these
jurisdictions prevent ICE from arresting criminal aliens in the secure confines
of a jail, they also force ICE officers to make more arrests out in the
community, which poses increased risks for law enforcement and the public.” Homan
is right. Liberal mayors like Schaaf, ever-willing to see illegal
immigrants only as victims, are working harder than ever to poke Washington,
D.C., and its law enforcers in the eye. [more...]

On
the latest edition of REVOLUTION_The
Podcast... we examine the President's erratic and unpredictable behavior
and ask: is this the result of the pressure from the Mueller probe? Does this
explain the confusion over "take the guns first and then do due
process"? And the President denigrating his own Attorney General and
calling him "Mr. Magoo" and his Deputy Attorney General "Mr.
Peepers?" Why is Mr. Trump more agitated over the actor, Alec Baldwin,
than he is over Russian President Putin's animated video depicting Russian
warheads raining down on Florida? Is he, as his staff is saying in private,
indeed coming "unglued?" [more...]

In 1812, Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry
tried rigging elections by redrawing district boundaries so that his
Democratic-Republican Party (the forerunner of today’s Democratic Party) would
win more seats. One such district was shaped like a salamander, which critics
called a “Gerrymander.” The Democrats ever since have used trickery to
win. Pennsylvania Supreme Court judges, all Democrats, have replaced the
legislature’s power to draw congressional districts. In 2000, Democrats tried
to throw out overseas ballots of Florida soldiers, and the far left Center for
American Progress this February proposed making it harder for Americans in
uniform to vote overseas, because soldiers tend to vote as conservatives. In
2016, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe issued an executive order giving votes to
more than 100,000 felons, who vote up to 88 percent Democratic.[more...]

Following the Harvey Weinstein allegations, the company began to
see a backlash in its business operations. Many business partners cut ties with
the studio and new business opportunities were cut off. Fearing the end of the
studio, executives sought a buyer that would keep the doors open and protect
their employees. A group of investors, led by Maria Contreras-Sweet, the former
head of the U.S. Small Business Administration, saw this as an opportunity to
start a movie studio that was headed by women. However, a letter from the Board
of Directors of the Weinstein Company stated that the buyers were unwilling to
provide interim financing while the deal was being finalized. As a result, the
company is on track to filing for bankruptcy. The deal hit its major snag a few
weeks ago when New York’s Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, filed a suit
against the company and Weinstein. [more...]

In the world of international trade, countries like China
continually use their own version of “steroids” to gain an advantage. Trade
cheating has been particularly evident in the global steel market, with
overseas competitors pushing the U.S. steel industry to the brink of collapse. Thankfully,
President Trump is willing
to strongly confront such cheating, as evidenced by his decision to impose
tariffs on “dumped” imports of both steel and aluminum. The president’s
announcement is particularly commendable since it takes a broad approach to
global trade.[more...]

The much vaunted self-driving car has a problem; it doesn’t
drive very well and often suffers from poor judgment. Whether it’s a Tesla, Google
Car, Mercedes or any other number of products attempting to dominate the
American Highway, they just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. People have been
killed or injured in while proving out these technological marvels. However,
there’s an easy way to speed up the research and development process, designate
the entire state of Florida as a self-driving car testing site. Florida has
earned the distinction of the nation’s worst drivers. With this kind of record,
the state must become the epicenter of self-driving vehicle technology
development. This designation will provide many benefits. [more...]

Are we going to defend the U.S. steel industry from the decline
caused by the growth of uneconomic foreign competition? Or, are we going to
allow the industry to fade away and become dependent on other countries for
this ubiquitous product, vital to our military and civilian economy? We believe
the answer has to be an effort in favor of defending America’s steel industry.
Too much is at stake. America’s national security depends on a reliable supply
of steel. America’s infrastructure, much of it urgently in need of renewal,
depends on steel. Great American industries, including automobiles, aerospace,
and many others, depend on a reliable supply of high-quality, low-cost steel.
Thousands of jobs also depend on the steel industry. [more...]

Left-wing hatred, in of all places
Nashville, has just politicized a country music institution. Rather than learn
a lesson from the NFL and Hollywood, a small but highly vocal group of people
in Music City has managed to pressure the Country Music Association (CMA) into
having former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee withdraw as a board member from
the group’s educational arm, the CMA Foundation. Last week, the CMA announced
two new members of the board of this charitable foundation, Huckabee and singer
Chris Young. Following the announcement, the CMA was the recipient of a
hate-filled backlash over its choice of Huckabee because of the former
governor’s political and religious views and solid support of President Donald
Trump, as well as the fact that he is the proud father of President Trump’s
current press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. [more...]

We
strongly applaud President Trump’s announcement of Section 232 safeguard
tariffs on an unprecedented surge of steel and aluminum imports. The U.S.
Commerce Department recently reported that a
wave of heavily subsidized steel and aluminum from China and 11 other countries
“threaten to impair the national security” of the United States. In response,
President Trump said today that he will impose 25 percent tariffs on steel
imports from all countries, with no exceptions. He has also announced 10
percent tariffs on all aluminum imports, with no exceptions.[more...]

That’s
what happened earlier this week in a New York Times op-ed. Jennifer Finney
Boylan, a contributing opinion writer for the Times, and a professor of English
at Barnard College of Columbia University, told several bald-faced lies about
my work. I’m surprised the editors published it.

For
the record, Boylan never contacted me regarding my research or my book. Nor did
the Times contact me to verify any of the claims made about me in the column. Boylan
claims I wrote “a book that suggests that transgender people are crazy, and
that what we [people who identify as transgender] deserve at every turn is
scorn, contempt, and belittlement.” Good luck finding a single line from my
book to back up either claim. [more...]

It’s estimated that MS-13 has 10,000 members in at least
40 states. In Northern Virginia and Maryland, once thinning MS-13 ranks,
diminished by successful federal prosecutions, have been reconstituted with
unaccompanied minors sent to the U.S. by families and gang masters in Central
America. The gang’s calling card has been discovered across the region –
shallow graves bearing the remains of youthful victims showing evidence of
horrific deaths. But now, with an administration willing to actually enforce
immigration laws, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can play a
larger role by identifying and deporting illegal alien MS-13 members and
recruits before the more complex and longer term investigative efforts are even
necessary. [more...]

If
you are a Citigroup card holder, you may be entitled to roughly $190. On
Friday, Citi reported with its annual filing to the Securities and Exchange
Commission that it has failed to lower interest rates for some credit card
holders and $335 million will be reissued. This bank is one of the largest
credit card issuers in the U.S. and apprehended the issue after an internal
review. The issue is stemmed from their methodology to lower interest rates in
return for good behavior by its customers. [more...]

Lately,
the left has been spouting about unchallenged moral authority. Rep. Scalise is
the closest thing to a sitting official with unchallenged moral authority on
mass shootings. He was seriously wounded when a Bernie Sanders supporter opened
fire at practice for a congressional charity baseball game. Instead of seizing
on that, Rep. Scalise and other Republicans took the high ground. I
don't expect the media or the left to listen to Rep. Scalise. But maybe this
should be a reminder that decency doesn't work with the indecent. Republicans
should have treated the attack just like Parkland. [more...]

In
January 2018 when negotiations over the fate of 800,000 “DACA” recipients broke
down, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blamed the impasse on the alleged
racism of President Trump and his senior advisers. “Last night the president
put forth a plan,” Pelosi told the U.S. Conference of Mayors. “Let me just say
what I said last night: that plan is a campaign to make America white again.” This
was not only an obvious lie, but a spectacularly brazen one, since Trump’s
announced plan would provide a path to citizenship not only for the DACA
illegals who are non-white, but for a million additional illegals, mainly from
Latin America, who are also mainly non-white. [more...]

We
haven’t even hardly started the 2018 Congressional elections and the 2020
presidential election is already underway. It was the headline on both the
Drudge Report and on Fox News this week. President Trump announced Tuesday that
he will definitely run for re-election in 2020. It’s official. That’s 980 days
before Election Day in 2020, which is historically early for a presidential
re-election run. (Obama, as an example, announced 582 days ahead of 2012.)
President Trump also introduced Brad Parscale, an expert on digital campaign
strategy, as his campaign manager. He’s been called Trump’s “secret weapon” by
a report on 60 Minutes and has been
reported to have said that Trump won because of his use of Facebook and Twitter.

The truth is that the average entrepreneur is nearly 40
years old. There are more Baby Boomers (ages 53 to 71) starting businesses than
Millennials (ages 20 to 36) and even more entrepreneurs in Generation X (ages
37 to 52). What’s more, your odds of starting a company that experiences scale
growth, becoming really profitable, only increase with age. The “Mozart Myth”
leads us to believe that if you haven’t started your first company in your
twenties then you’re never going to be an entrepreneur. But age, financial
security, and experience — most often at an established company — are far more
likely predictors of an entrepreneurial career. It turns out that corporations
are often far more effective in training entrepreneurs than are most business
schools or incubators.[more...]

This
wasn’t supposed to happen. As this article is written, Bitcoin is trading
around $11,200. It’s up from breaking the $6,000 barrier, but this could well
be a dead cat bounce. That’s down from nearly $20,000 in mid-December. After
all, everyone knows that Bitcoin only goes up.... just like the stock market
and housing prices. What gives? What’s happened in cryptocurrencies was
completely predictable. In fact, I wrote an article about this very scenario
back on December 25, 2017. Bitcoin and all of its Johnny-come-lately followers
are in for some more tough times ahead. If it retraces 80-90 percent of its
gains the past year, that will put it in a range of $3,800-5,600. Such a
pullback would not be out of the realm of experience. When a bubble pops, it’s

How
could Facebook regain public and political support? Here’s a simple proposal:
the company is investing $14 billion this year on capital spending. That’s a
huge sum of money (and double its 2017 spend). The vast majority of it goes on
the data centers Facebook is building in the U.S. and worldwide. And the vast
majority of that money goes to the servers, storage, and networking gear
crammed, floor to ceiling, into those data centers. Today, virtually all that
money is going to Asian-manufactured IT equipment, simply because all that
equipment is manufactured over there and almost none of it here. What if
Facebook said it would spend a quarter of its data center budget on U.S.-manufactured
equipment? If Facebook committed to spend one quarter of its IT budget on U.S.-made
product, and was followed by other Internet giants, the U.S. might soon have
some 3 million people working on manufacturing the products that make the
Internet hum. [more...]

Assuming that Google’s bias is extensive and is unlikely
to be addressed, conservatives cannot sit idly by and continue to use the
search site. In the business world, there are antitrust laws that exist to
protect consumers from monopolies, which artificially raise prices and stifle
innovation. Perhaps people who are seeking objectivity should consider using an
alternative approach when conducting Internet searches. Considering the fact
that Google and most other search engines track and mine personal information
without an individual’s knowledge or consent, it becomes even more important to
adopt an alternative approach. This brings us to some Google alternatives that
may surprise the reader. [more...]

This will be a central issue this week as the U.S.
Supreme Court considers whether a government worker can be compelled to pay
money to a public employee union. Although not strictly union dues, the
“agency” fees required by such unions typically range from 50 percent to 100
percent of union dues. Most would agree that compelling a citizen to pay a
hefty hunk of his or her wages to any political party would violate that
person’s rights of free speech and freedom of association. The very point of
civil service reform more than a century ago was to remove government jobs from
the corrupt old political “spoils” system, named after the saying “To the
winner go the spoils,” through which activists in either winning party were
given government jobs to reward their partisan loyalty. When public workers are
forced to pay unions that have used their coerced money to become the biggest
funders of Democratic Party candidates, this violates their rights and corrupts
our democratic republic.[more...]

Parents
in Ohio lost custody of their 17-year-old daughter Friday because a judge ruled
that she should be allowed to receive therapy, including testosterone therapy,
to identify as a boy. Without commenting on the specifics of this case just
outside Cincinnati, Americans can expect to see more cases like it as
government officials side with transgender activists to promote a radical view
of the human person and endorse entirely experimental medical procedures. At

In
a meeting with House and Senate members this week, President Trump was
reportedly surprised to learn that his newly released infrastructure plan
didn’t include any “Buy America” requirements. The president had issued
an executive order last April stating: “It shall be the policy of the
executive branch to buy American and hire American.” Administration staff
writing the initial infrastructure plan appear to have overlooked that order,
however. But an infrastructure package cannot create jobs in the U.S. if it
exports taxpayer dollars to Asia and Europe. Thus, the president’s proposal is
far less strategic than it should be, and the administration should promptly
revise it to incorporate Buy America requirements.[more...]

Volkswagen
has made a great start to 2018. Its sales are up 10% compared to January of
2017. Chief Executive Fred Kappler said that this was the best start for
Volkswagen in its history, with significant growth in all regions. The
auto giant, which owns Porsche, Audi and Skoda, was struggling due to its
diesel emissions scandal which has already cost the company more than $30
billion. But the company seems to have bounced back in spectacular fashion. The
main contributors to the sales boom the German auto maker is experiencing is due

Politico has

true. A movement built on exploiting the occasional crisis to hate guns is
never going to be a match for those whose culture it is. That's always been the

There’s
a pattern in the progressives’ admiration for Castro, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin,
Chavez, and most recently Kim Jong Un’s sister, the head of propaganda for the
North Korean terror state whom the left’s media lackeys effusively praised
during her appearance at the Olympics. No matter how blood-stained, any tyrant
can be an object of the left’s affection, as long as he or she is on the side
of “revolution” against the hated capitalists and the repressed bourgeoisie.
This century-long love affair explains the endless parade of useful idiots
making pilgrimages to totalitarian hell-holes like Stalin’s Russia, Chavez’s
Venezuela or Castro’s Cuba, there to swoon over the Potemkin heaven on
earth. It also accounts in part for the surreal, cult-like worship of the
tin-pot messiah Barack Obama, whose very trouser crease could thrill the
starry-eyed pundit, whose banal rhetoric could send tingles down the leg of the
most hard-bitten journalist. [more...]

After
the gun violence and tragic massacre of 17 people in Florida last week, the

acknowledging the tragedy in Florida, let’s look at some gun violence statistics
to put this terrible incident into some perspective. [more...]
